Thieves target Telford homes
Police are investigating following a series of burglaries and attempted burglaries at homes in an area of Telford.
Thieves have this month targeted a number of homes in Leegomery. Police say three homes have been broken into and had property stolen and a further three have suffered attempted break-ins.
They are investigating the incidents and are appealing to anyone with information to come forward.
As part of officer's enquiries three men have been arrested in connection with the incidents and have been bailed pending further enquiries.
Detective Constable Steve Clark said: "Properties in Radnor Court, Brecknock Court and Hurleybrook Way have all been broken into during the last few weeks. Property, namely electrical items including a 42 inch plasma tv, two Nintendo Wiis and games, a Samsung laptop computer and four alloy wheels have all been stolen.
"In the same period we have also received reports about attempted break-ins at properties in Chockleys Meadow, Acacia Drive and Castle Acre Road. On two occasions no entry was gained but on the third entry was gained but offenders were disturbed by occupiers and left empty handed.
"Police are investigating the break-ins and believe they are all linked, even though they have taken place both during the day and at night time.
"We would urge anyone with information about the break-ins or the stolen property to come forward and talk to us."
He added: "In the meantime we would like to remind residents to be aware and to be vigilant and please remember to be security conscious and to keep your property and vehicle safe and secure at all times."
Anyone with information is asked to contact Telford Police on 0300 333 3000 or the anonymous Crimestoppers line on 0800 555111.
